Villa at Cusi. FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMERICAN AMERI-CAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION IN MEXICO, Sept. 29t by wireless to Columbus, Co-lumbus, N. M., Sept. 30. Francisco A'illa, with 200 men, is at Cusihuiriachic, a mining town west of Chihuahua City, according to reports received at field headquarters tonight. The last report to headquarters placed the bandit leader lead-er at Santa Clara ranch, thirty miles east of Namiquipa. If Villa has moved to Cusi, it would place him 200 miles from the nearest American troops. Reports concerning the outlaw's movements, however, are being studied and checked in every possible way, for fear they are inspired and that Villa, instead of moving south, is moving northward, as he is reported to have threatened. One theory to account for moving to Cusi is tnat he hopes to secure supplies there. He was reported in re- cent advices as needing clothing and forage. No movements of Carranza troops toward to-ward the Cusi region are known at headquarters. i |
